I keep as much of the stem as possible. Just cut off the leaves. The big corms i think survive the winter even better then smaller plants. I just threw the big corm/roots in a plastic garbage bag and shoved the whole works in an extra closet in an unheated room. I'm guessing the tallest stem was 4ft tall when it was planted in April.

You can see some SDCs in the background. They've also not been liking this cool weather. I've noticed some yellowing leaves from temps in the 40's during July... and we had two days in the 60's.
